U-Ezra 1
1 Ngomnyaka wakuqala wenkosi yasePhezhiya uKhurosi, ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa nguJeremiya, uThixo wathinta inhliziyo kaKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya ukuba yenze isimemezelo kuwo wonke umbuso wayo, ukuthi sibhalwe phansi kuthiwe:
Waaqayyo akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan Ermiyaasiin dubbatame sun raawwatamuuf jedhee bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa jalqabaatti akka inni mootummaa isaa hunda keessa labsii tokko dabarsuu fi akka labsiin sunis barreeffamuuf hafuura Qiiros mooticha Faares ni kakaase; labsiin sunis akkana jedha:
2 “Nanku okutshiwo yinkosi uKhurosi wasePhezhiya: ‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu wasezulwini, ungiphile yonke imbuso yasemhlabeni njalo ungikhethile ukuthi ngimakhele ithempeli eJerusalema koJuda.
“Qiiros mootichi Faares akkana jedha: “‘Waaqayyo Waaqni samii mootummoota lafa irraa hunda naaf kenneera; akka ani Yihuudaa keessatti Yerusaalemitti mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruufis na muudeera.
3 Loba ngubani wabantu bakhe phakathi kwenu angahamba aye eJerusalema koJuda ayekwakha ithempeli likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu oseJerusalema njalo sengathi uNkulunkulu wabo angaba labo.
Saba isaa keessaa nama gidduu keessanitti argamu kam iyyuu Waaqni isaa isa wajjin haa taʼu; innis gara Yerusaalem ishee Yihuudaa keessaa sanaa ol baʼee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqa Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu sanaa haa ijaaru.
4 Akuthi abantu loba ngabakuyiphi indawo lapho okungabe kuseselensalela kabamuphe isiliva legolide, impahla lezifuyo, leminikelo yokuzithandela yethempeli likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema.’”
Warra hafanii iddoo kam iyyuu jiraatan hundaaf sabni biyya isaan keessa jiraatan sanaa kennaa fedhiidhaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sanaaf kennuu irratti dabalee meetii fi warqee, miʼaa fi horii gumaachuudhaan isa haa gargaaran.’”
5 Kwasekusithi abazinhloko zemizi yakoJuda lakoBhenjamini, kanye labaphristi labaLevi, labo bonke ababethintwe inhliziyo zabo nguNkulunkulu, bazilungisela ukuhamba ukuyakwakha indlu kaThixo eJerusalema.
Ergasii hangafoonni maatii Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam, luboonnii fi Lewwonni jechuunis namoonni Waaqni garaa isaanii kakaase hundi dhaqanii mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa sana ijaaruuf qophaaʼan.
6 Bonke omakhelwane babo babancedisa ukuzuza izinto zesiliva legolide, impahla lezifuyo, lezipho eziligugu phezu kwayo yonke iminikelo yokuzizwela.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuus kennaa fedhiidhaan kennan irratti dabalanii miʼa meetii fi warqee, qodaa fi horii akkasumas kennaawwan gatii guddaa baasan gumaachuudhaan isaan gargaaran.
7 Phezu kwalokho iNkosi uKhurosi yakhupha zonke izitsha ezazingezethempeli likaThixo ezazithunjwe nguNebhukhadineza eJerusalema zabekwa ethempelini likankulunkulu wakhe.
Kana malees Qiiros Mootichi miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar Yerusaalemii guurratee mana Waaqa isaa keessa kaaʼatee ture sana gad ni baase.
8 UKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya wathi kazilethwe nguMithiredathi umgcinisikhwama onguye owazibalayo ezibalela uSheshibhazari inkosana yakoJuda.
Qiiros mootichi Faares akka Mitredaat itti gaafatamaan qabeenyaa sun miʼa sana fidee Sheeshbazaar bulchaa Yihuudaatiif lakkaaʼu godhe.
9 Nanzi-ke lezompahla: imiganu yegolide yayingamatshumi amathathu, imiganu yesiliva yayiyinkulungwane, amapane esiliva ayengamatshumi amabili lasificamunwemunye,
Miʼoonni sunis: saanii warqee 30, saanii meetii 1,000, distii meetii 29,
10 imiganu yegolide ezingubhe yayingamatshumi amathathu, eyesiliva efana layo yayingamakhulu amane letshumi, ezinye impahla zaziyinkulungwane.
waciitii warqee 30, waciitii meetii kan qadaada qabu 410, miʼa gosa biraa 1,000.
11 Sekukonke, kwakuyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu lamakhulu amane ezinto zegolide lesiliva. USheshibhazari weza lazozonke lezizinto lapho izithunjwa zafika eJerusalema zivela eBhabhiloni.
Walumaa galatti miʼa warqeetii fi kan meetii 54,000 ture. Sheeshbazaaris miʼoota kanneen hunda yeroo boojiʼamtoota Baabilonii baasee Yerusaalemitti geessetti guuree deeme.
